Chinese students benefit UK schools, consultant says

Chinese students who study at British state schools will bring more benefits than disadvantages to those schools and their students, according to a senior overseas study consultant in China.

"The arrival of Chinese students at British state schools will not reduce the chances of local students being accepted by these schools or universities in the United Kingdom," said He Chugang, general manager of the South China region of Amber Education, an overseas study consulting agency.

He made the remarks after the UK newspaper The Sunday Times reported that the emergence of more Chinese students at British state schools has brought concerns to local parents and education experts.
